i had a very old maestro echoplex, i nicked it from the electronics teacher at school. he had it in his store room for years, still worked too. i dont have it anymore, it got mangled when some twat knocked it of my amp when they were getting their gear on stage, found it behind my amp in a nice spaghetti mess. i've i ever saw that guy again, i'd insert my leslie cabinet inside him and churning his guts up.

Murder should be legal with a case like that!

a) I think you mean "fair game"

b) It is not fair game when your stolen items get broken by accident.

yeah i meant fair game aen, me blonde lol

the band that trashed my echoplex are know on the circuit for having no respect for other peoples equipment, a fellow friend had his bass drum skin put through after their drummer had play and got annoyed so kicked it through.

Fair gain has more sense, than fair game, here at least.. I would be happy to see an review or pics.. cause they seem very interesting.. beauty of old times..

WEM Copicat - don't have a picture of my own here but it's like this one at http://www.watkinsguitars.co.uk/copicats.htm

Not in use at the moment as it seems to be running a bit hot and other things are higher on my to-fix list, such as my Electric Mistress clone.

Weirdest "tape" echo I've had to repair was the Arbiter Soundimension echo which had a thick rotating alumin(i)um disc with the edge coated in magnetic material - technically a magnetic drum unit.

Can You get them new, like reissues and how much is a reasonable price on ebay ?

hiwatt released a new tape echo unit and fulltone released that very expensive unit.

i'll try and find the link, but theres a uk company that deals in hi-fi that has two copicats for around 150 in working condition.

Someone elsewhere describes a mod to the Copicat, adding a head plugged into the second input.

Also HH did at least one solid-state tape loop echo
